The girls have sung at the Christmas program and at the Concert. They are losing a great many of their good voices but they will gain others to fill in. Miss Corkill is a person who should receive a lot of the credit for the fine work the girls’ chorus has done. As a chorus director she can not be surpassed. 23

There are 48 in the regular Mixed Chorus but it had to be cut for the contests. At the District Contest they got a second rating. At the concert in the Spring and at the Christmas program they gave a good account of themselves. There are many good voices who will carry on the good work next year although they are losing some of the leading voices. O. T. H. S. is proud of having this good group. 27

It is mostly through her efforts that the boys were so successful this year. 29
